If you’ve ever craved a satisfying, chewy bagel that actually fuels you rather than leaves you crashing mid-morning… welcome. These 5-ingredient high-protein bagels are everything I love in a functional food: nourishing, simple, and deeply satisfying—with a nutritional upgrade that makes them more than just an occasional treat.
So easy to make with only 5 ingredients!
No yeast. No rising. No boiling.
Just mix, bake + enjoy.
Eating healthy doesn’t have to be complicated
Nourishment doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it’s as simple as a warm bagel with good ingredients and even better vibes.
This recipe has become a go-to in my kitchen because of just how easy they are to make. I often whip a batch of these up when I don’t have time to make sourdough bread. These high-protein bagels are perfect for breakfast or lunch — I like to top them with avocado, egg or tofu, fresh veggies like broccoli sprouts, and tomato.
Whether you’re gluten sensitive, balancing hormones, or just love good food that loves you back, these bagels check all the boxes.
Each bagel packs around 12g of protein (depending on your flour and yogurt), making them a great option for breakfast, post-workout fuel, or even a midday snack that won’t leave you hungry in an hour.
Why These Bagels Are Different
We’re skipping the overly processed white flour and using stone-milled organic flour (I use Better Basics Milling—Better Bred flour). This flour is:
Higher in protein than most commercial flours (hello, better texture and better blood sugar balance)
Glyphosate-free, which matters more than people realize when it comes to gut and hormonal health
Milled in a way that retains nutrition, rather than stripping it away like most conventional flours
Pair that with organic Greek yogurt (a clean source of protein + probiotics), and you’ve got a bagel that supports your gut, hormones, and energy levels—without compromising on taste.
Fun fact: Studies show that eating 30+ different plant foods a week is linked to greater diversity of good gut bacteria, which supports better digestion, hormone balance, and overall health. Healthy whole grains can be a great addition to your plant-based roster.
High-Protein Bagels
Ingredients
- 1.5 cup organic stone-ground flour I used Better Basics–Better Bread Flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp sea salt fine
- 1 cup organic Greek yogurt
- 1 egg for egg wash
- Everything bagel seasoning optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the bread flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a cylinder about 6 inches long, then connect the ends to form a bagel shape.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg to create an egg wash. Gently brush the egg wash over each bagel.
- Season the bagels with your choice of toppings (e.g., sesame seeds, everything bagel seasoning).
- Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your protein-packed bagels!
